Less then a week ago I Fostered a BD from the RES Rescue I work closely with as he needs more hands on attention.
His (Austin) Story
Someone dropped off him off at a Reptile Store stating he wont eat. He was sickly thin, not active, & quite dark in colour (read that dark in colour=bad). They gave him to our Rescue in hopes we could help him. Shortly after he arrived at the Rescue I Fostered him in hopes I could help him. He's in a temp 30gal tank here at my place, has a UVA/B heat lamp (new), large water dish he can lay in, a food dish for mixed veggies & plenty of crickets.
Today I learned (one of your members found me) that Sand is bad, so I wont be getting him any, he'll remain on Newspaper as its soft on his belly. So far Austin is eating MUCH better & is far more active (he'll hunt now). He loves to hang out with me & my dog. He's fearless & doesn't seem to stress out, because after stuffing him into a container, driving him to my place (30 mins drive) on less then smooth roads, & placing him into a new tank with a hungry dog staring at him through the glass... he was eating crickets from my hand :shock:
I know NOTHING (ok very little) about BD or Lizards in general. I'm more so into mammals, things that go BUMP in the night, & Common Snapping Turtles.
Here is Austin
